----------------------------------------
The mechanism you want to support, and indeed I wanted to support when I created this ticket, simply doesn't work in the real world. How can you ignore that?

> Currently we ignore qvalues when negotiation between 'application/json' and 'text/plain' when returning JSON responses.
> Specifically, we test directly for 'application/json' or 'text/plain' in the Accept header. Different branches have different bugs, though. Trunk returns 'application/json' if 'application/json' is present at all, even if it's less preferred than 'text/plain' when qvalues are accounted for.
> We should follow the standard.
